This discussion makes me sad. All you hear these days about Charlotte is how she's not pretty anymore, not likeable, not stylish... I must say that I'm pretty fed up with people criticizing her all the time. Why follow her if you despise everything she ever does and don't ever even have one good thing to say about her?
I've been a "follower" of Charlotte since 2001 or something. I find her amazingly beautiful. I have a very strict sense of beauty and I classify very few people as beauties. (It's not that I purposefully classify people into beautiful and not-so-beautiful, though... There has to be a special experience, a stronger kind of "oh-wow".) Those people who have come across as gorgeous, to me, can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Charlotte is one of them. I didn't like her GP2000 pictures that much, and can't quite remember which pictures really got me interested, but since then I have seen photos of Charlotte that have knocked me out (Pegasus ceremony close-ups, Salon du Cheval 2001, summer pics from 2002 and 2003). In my opinion, real beauty is the kind that knocks me out, and I've run into that only a few times. This is only a personal experience, of course.
I find Charlotte a true beauty. She has perfect, caramel-coloured skin, eyes like almonds, an attractive, cute and special-looking nose, enviable lips and oh-my-god cheekbones. And yes, I think she's stylish as well. If you have found your favorite kind of clothes and accessories, you don't have to change them according to the current trends. That's pathetic, in my opinion.
I'm sorry for this rant, but I am REALLY getting bored with people criticizing Charlotte's looks and style. I want to visit this postboard, but how can I when all I ever read here are negative comments about her? Be more positive, please!
